Ni hao, benny!! I’m sorry haven’t been on in a while, but I am graduating this year and I have been super busy! I have question I kinda asked before. I was just wondering about sentence stucture in chinese. Like, " Ming bought a brand new car yestarday." “I like to eat dark chocolate.” I wanted to know because I was teaching my class Mandarin. I hope you can help me!! Thank you, Benny!! :)

Your sentences in Chinese are:
1. zuó tiān Míng mǎi le yí liàng xīn (de) chē. Or "Míng zuó tiān mǎi le yí liàng xīn (de) chē
2. wǒ xiǎng chī hēi qiǎo kè lì
The basic structure is “Subject + time + Verb + object” You can also put time words in the very beginning.

About the sentence “I like to eat dark chocolate”, shouldn’t the mandarin way be with “xi huan” rather than “xiang”?
I’d choose “xiang” if the sentence was “I would like…” | |
